My name is Jourdan Cha’Taun I am a private chef to the stars and have been in this business for over 20 years. I have worked with Sean Combs, Tyler Perry, Floyd Mayweather, & Dwight Howard, just to name a few. I moved to NYC in 2007 from Seattle, WA with a dream to become a private chef to the stars. I had no prior experience working with high profile clients. And I could only get cooking jobs in restaurants making $7.49. I went through bouts of depression & wanted to leave and call it quits. Then I met a famous author & publicist Terrie M. Williams. She connected me to Sean Combs camp. And the rest was history but not without challenges. I have learned through trial and error how to negotiate prices, and the importance of work/life balance. Within the past 2 decades I have built relationships to last me a lifetime and Now that I have the full blueprint I want to help you reach your own goals in the food industry.

Growing up in Washington, D.C., with a peach tree and herbs growing in her front yard, a grapevine on the back porch, and trips to the freshwater spring contributed to her inspiration for her culinary company. When Sabour went off to college, she lived in a suite with five people and she began cooking for her roommates and now husband. Today Chef Razia runs Fuller Food, the premier catering company for Atlanta's film and TV industry. While her greatest inspiration are her children, who have now fallen in love with the art of food.
